Recently, the delegation of German company ThyssenKrupp - one of the largest industrial concerns of Germany, which is the world's largest producer of high-alloy steel, as well as metalworking machines, lifts and escalators - visited the machine-building plant of Enter Steel LLC, which is a subsidiary of Enter Engineering.

The purpose of the visit was to get acquainted with the production capacities of the plant and to discuss the issues on organisation of design works and production of ball mills for their subsequent installation at the project "Construction of MMC on the basis of "Tebinbulak" deposit".

The delegation consisting of ThyssenKrupp Chief Coordinator Gerhard Blatton, Quality and Control Engineer and Ball Mill Production Engineer Thorsten Carre, Project Coordinator Thomas Gernhardt and Senior Sales Manager Dauren Utegenov met with representatives of the plant - Chief Welder Bekir Aliyev and a group of Enter Steel design engineers, as well as a group of employees from the Quality Control and Quality Assurance Department of Enter Engineering.

Issues related to shop design, ball mill manufacturing and other relevant topics were discussed.

In the near future, Enter Steel will manufacture 4 ball mills for the above project. Alexey Mikov, a specialist of static equipment group, responsible for this project from Enter Engineering's Mechanical Engineering Department, told us about the purpose of this type of equipment: - Ball mill for grinding of solid materials is a unit for working with ore and non-metallic minerals. The name comes from the process of disintegration (grinding) by grinding bodies - hard balls. The manufacturing process of the equipment is scheduled to begin at the end of the first quarter of next year. Each ball mill will weigh 300 tonnes. At this stage, a 4 kilometre long conveyor mill consisting of 880 assemblies and parts is being laid at the site. It will be used to transport the finely crushed ore for secondary processing.
